The California Lumber Merchant - March 1963

UMBER MERCHANT

$[DilNG IS FACTORY SEATED

,,SHEDS WATER LIKE A DUCK'S BACK"

In the past we've applied a water-repellent to our bevel siding, when ordered that way. Now all Rockport Redwood bevel siding is factory-sealed with Woodtox, for maximum protection-and of no ertra cost. With this added value. lumber dealers can now offer their customers a truly superior product at competitive prices.

The advantages of water-repellent treatment are widely recognized, since moisture is the greatest single cause of problems with wood sidings.

THE CALIFORI\IA LUMBER MERCHAI\T

And in The Next lssue Yes, They Want to Learn About Wood

ECEIVING the spotlight in the April issue of The Calilornia Lumber Merchant will be the hardboard industry. We plan, in this "hardboard special'o to give comprehensive coverage of this fast-growing product, its history and development, its present applications and usages and future potential.

We hope that you will like and find informative this April oohardboard special." It is another special presentation, similar to this month's report on the "Building Center," which we present as a service to our readers, that they may be better acquainted with numerous modern developments in the vast and complex lumber industrv.

early in the year, there are pres- lJ entlv at least four Lumber and Wood Products'schools being conducted on the West Coast-in Oakland, Fresno, Los Angeles and Fullerton. Perhaps one of' the most surprising things about these classes is the attendance-just about double what had been anticipated. In Oakland there have been as high as 125 lumb-^r industry personnel at one of the sessions; in Fresno, approximately 40; in Los Angeles, between 90 and 100; and in Fullerton about 70 persons. The attendance is primarily from personnel associated.with retail lumber yards.

The schools have generally been established as a joint effort of local groups.and representatives of the National Lumber Manufactufers Association. These gentle-

ln This lssue

men and other leaders in the industrv have long recognized the need for sucir educational programs, and it was through their interest and hard work that these schools have come about.

Yes, the personnel of the lumber indus. try, actively engaged in selling lumber and wood products and rendering service, definitely want to know more about lumber. We believe that these schools, in their first "dry run," represent a solid beginning. We think that they will be made even more helpful and informative, from the experience gained this year. I7e strongly urge that this educational program be continued and be made a permanent part of the lum. ber industry's plan for aggressively rendering increased service and selling better products to the public.

Kindliness and simplicity have always marked the world's greatmen. * * *

Every now and then I meet some grufi-spoken, stifi-necked, bigheaded, grouchy fellow, who knows no opinion but his own, gives no thought to the other fellow, acts like a czar, and looks upon himself as something exceptionaly fine that the Iord has by extra effort turned out, and I think that that must be the sort of bird that Bobby Burns had in mind when he said:

"Oh, wad some power the giftie gie us, to see oursels as ithers seeus."

Isn't it both strange and queer the perspective that this sort of person gets concerning those characteristics that go to make bigness and greatness. * r *

For this sort of man always thinks he is a great man-at the worstaBlGrnan.* * *

The thinkers of the world have all agreed upon one fact concerning greatness, which is, that great men are invariably kindly, simPlemen' i * *

Trace the history of our own nation, and the fact is forcefully drivenhome.

Severe men, grouchy men, overbearing merl, strongly opinionated men, selfJoving men, ungenerous men, are NEVER great men, and seldom does a man possess any of these characteristics who can claim to be a B*IG man. Very seldom indeed

Fact is that men who travel much, see, hear, think and do much, have discovered this very interesting and pertinent fact-that LITTLE men are hard to get to, and BIG men are easy to approacn.

If you are in New York and have some business you would like to transact with the biggest banker there, you send in your card, and the next thing you know this busy man is shaking hands with you, and telling you just when you can see him and tell your business story.

BY JACK DIONNE

But you meet more Iittle men, the world over, who are ooin conference" and can't see you, or whose secretary makes you tell the story of your life, how much you weigh, who you are, what you want to see this business giant about, etc., etc., etc., before you can possibly be ushered into* The August Presence.

And whenever you meet that experience you can know without anyone telling you, that you have a mental "pee-wee" to contend with. Never a doubt about it. You can get to see a really BIG man without trouble, embarrassment, or unnec€ssary effort, anywhere, any time.

Just as you meet socially unfortunate people who think that the way to demonstrate that they ARE some pumpkins is to "snub" somebody on every occasion-thus demonstrating their woeful ignorance of what "gentle-man" or oogentle-woman" really means, so in business you meet e gneat pexcentage of mental light-weights who become obsessed by the notion that they must demonstrate their size and station bI* "tt ,tru**al show of pomp and power.

To both classes, this fine thought is recommended for mental digestion: "Without subtle imagination, a broad spirit of charity and tolerance for the feelings, rights, and yearnings of others; without vision, sympathy, and sincerity for the other man, a man is JUST MUD."

What a wonderful thing is an interesting thought! The other day I filched from the column of a friend of mine an epitaph. And in that simple inscription, alleged to be taken from a headstone in an English cemetery, I found a thought that pleased and intrigued me so that I have annoyed my friends and family by reciting it on all possible occasions. It goes like this: Here lies poor Jimmy Pumblequod. Have mercy on him, Gracious God, , I know HE would, if HE were GodAnd YOU*were Jimmy Pumblequod.

Read that over a couple of times and see if it doesn't hit you. It's just the Golden Rule in reverse, that's all. "Do unto others."

Foreign Trade Themes IHPA Convenfion

"Foreign trade-the immense benefits to the American public and its importance to the country's welfare-came under sharp focus at the 7th Annual Convention of the Imported Hardwood Plywood Association, February 6-8, at the Ojai Valley Inn and County Club, 40 miles south of Santa Barbara, California.

Among the attendance of 80 executives from all parts of the country were plywood

importers, distributors, door manufacturers. processors, customs house brokers. representatives {rom several major steamship companies, port authorities, the Department of Commerce, and guests from the National Plywood Distributors Association, the Douglas Fir Plywood Association, the Philippine Mahogany Association and the West Coast Metals Importers Association.

"Related selling is important to our sales. with a versatile stock of West Coast Lumber, we have a sound basic item upon which we build related sales-hardware, insulation, millwork, tools, paint, other building items. Sales volume and West Coast Lumber go together."

The quality reputation of coast region west coast Lumber with its variety of sizes, patterns and grades is a big help in meeting modern building specifications. For example: standard sizes of west coast Lumber were used economically in the intricate framing of the octagonal house illustrated above.

Standard sizes and grades of West Goast Lumber used in framing this octagonal house are:

West_Coast Douglas Fir 2" x lO,, floor joists, 2" x 4" interior and exterior wall framing.

what is considered by many as some of the most €ffective support given the Administration's successful 1962 Trade Expansion Program. Osgood pointed out that IHPA members held an advantage over most representatives testifying before the House and Senate Committees because they were both Americans as well as experts in World Trade, and thus had a bifocal view of the President's program.

Osgood particularly thanked Jack Davidson of Pacific Wood Products, Los Angeles, for. his testimony, noting that the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee had praised Davidson quite profusely for his candor. Davidson, owner of a domestic plywood mill as well as head of a long established imported plywood concern, was a rare witness because he could and did capably discuss the pros and cons of the program's efiect on the plywood market.

Also praised by Osgood was James Sharp of Sharp & Bogan, the IHPA legal counsel in lVashington. Sharp, whose main practice is Tariff Law, is a keen student on the Constitution. His brief on the constitutionality of an amendment which proposed that Congress retain veto power over Presidential Agreements under the trade program, drew wide attention in legal circles. Myron Solter and Tom Blake, members of the Sharp & Bogan stafi, also drew high praise for their effective work.

Osgood noted that New York members had become more active in the voice of the Association under the strong leadership of John Eells, United States Plywood Corporation, and Robert Axtell of Atkins, Kroll &

Co. The group has established regular meetings of importers in the area.

Of considerable importance to the group was the report by John Mercier of Ray Hill Lumber Company, Los Angeles, who voiced the constructive criticism and recommendations of the committee composed of wholesalers, door manufacturers, printers and prefinishers. This committee has had a highly authorative voice in educating foreign suppliers with respect to American marketing, distribution and quality standards, as well as creating a better understanding between consumers and suppliers.

Keynote speaker at the Convention was foreign trade specialist Eliot Janeway, who called attention to Russia's growing eco-

nomic offensive throughout the World, using its goods and services versus our cash. Janeway noted that Russia is also using wood and wood products traded at cut rate prices and in growing quantities to Great Britain in an attempt to unsettle the Scandanavian bloc, Britain's historic suppliers.

Stanley Long, executive vice-president and general manager of Shasta Trailers of Northridge, California, with plants at Goshen, Indiana, and Lancaster, Pennsylvania, impressed the group with the fact that four million Americans are using mobile homes for either recreation or permanent residence. The American mobile home and trailer industry, which is growing at the rate of 195,000 units annually (within 13 percent of all private housing starts last year), is a huge and growing market for imported hardwood plywood, he noted.

Albert Perrish-chairman of the board of Vest Coast Metal Importers Association, president of Winter Volf & Co., Los Angeles,and vice president of the Los Angeles Board of Harbor Commissionels-shg55sd the necessity for a positive, not a defensive, educational program which would inform the public of the many benefits derived from import commodities.

Another speaker, Orval Stewart, head of Stewart Plywood. Inc., Santa Fe Springs, Cali{ornia, told the group that the Great American slogan "W'e will not be undersold" can only lead to disaster. Stewart urged the group to get ofi the atomic rocket ride for volume and put the emphasis on creative selling to achieve the reason for being in business-profits.

Robert Weston, head of the marketing firm of Robert Weston & Company-a former plywood man himself-noted that the importer's most important product is in reality a service-a buying service. Weston emphasized the need for the importer to more closely identify himself with the cus(Continued, on Page 50)

The Building Center

A UNIQUE PROFESSIONAL FACILITY

THE WHITE slumpstone building located on 3rd r Street and Fairfax in Los Angeles is common meeting ground {or everyone in the building industry.

At this one location, architects, interior designers, contractors, and clients can see and compare all of the products required for the construction and finishing of a building.

Called the Building Center, the pavilion-like structure houses 200 exhibits, many of which are of lumber and related products. Every day of the week some 50 to I00 persons who are planning to build tour these exhibits.

Current designs by Southern California architects are displayed in a 160 ft. long Architectural Gallery, and the lush interior courtyard, landscaped by the American Institute of Landscape Architects, exhibits unusual arrangements of garden materials, including plants, paving, pools, raised planters, and screening.

Nothing is sold at the Center, although samples and complete information on each product are kept on file. The exhibits are geared to acquaint the profession and

Buffet luncheon is served in the Clubroom every weekday to a hundred or Elore perions who work'in design, decoration, and site development. At lunch, manufacturers meet with these men whose use of their products is so important to thern.

The Los Angeles Building Center opened in December 1958. under the direction of Mary Louise Schmidt. Miss Schmidt had organized the first permanent exhibit of

tects in California and over 500 in New York. Offices in New York are at l0 Rockefeller Plaza.

The idea for the service developed when a group of architects suggested to Mi:s Schmidt that an information and research service would save them and their personnel valuable time.

Originally, architects paid for the service. Soon it became a courtesy service sponsored by manufacturers of building materials and equipment. Through personal contact provided by the service, products of subscribing manufacturers are presented to architects for consideration on each of their projects.

Representatives of the service are recent college graduates, all young women with general educational backgrounds. They are

building materials in existence over 30 years ago in downtown Los Angeles. She has developed the San Francisco Building Center, which occupies the ground floor of an historic build.ing at 40 Gold Street in the center of Jackson Square.

Both Centers, as well as a New York office, serve as a headquarters for the Architects and Engineers Service, a unique organization that aids architects in compiling data on building materials for individual projects.

The service is used bv over 2.000 archi-

Each representative has a list of architects whom she sees regularly. She brings new literature from subscribing manufacturers to the Architectos office" discusses it with him and files it. Then. with the

the architect needs concerning building products. If technical information is re' quired, she makes appointments for the architect with an engineer or salesman of the firm.

The subscribing manufacturer is assured that the architect has current information on his products and that his products are brought to the architect's attention at the time he is making decisions on materials.

The value of the service to manufacturers is in direct relation to the value of the service to architects. Manufacturers must have products acceptable to the profession in order to qualify for the service.

The Building Center and the Architects and Engineers Service augment each other, working together to provide a communication link between manufacturers, designers who specify their products, and the dealers who sell their products.

SANTA CLARA'S GREAT DEBATE

(Continued lrom Page 2)

consideration by the American Lumber Standards Committee in Washington, D. C.

Acting as moderator, Art did a masterful job as referee of a panel consisting of two retailers, two wholesalers and two men representing opposite opinions at the sawmill level on tJris. fascinating subject of grade standardization in relation to moisture content" one of the hottest issues to develop within the industry in many years.

In each case the speakers came well prepared and qualified on the subject. On the "pro" side of the panel, NLMA's Neil Pin. son, wholesaler Vic Roth, and retailer Herb Crawford all pointed out the need for an overall grade standardization program. On the other side of the panel, Al Thrasher, Knute W'eidman and Bud Hubbard aqreed in theory that the industry should est;blish a "once and for all" standardization program, but they voiced objections to both the methods employed to "ramrod" the Grade Simplification and Standardization Program through ALS as well as the green, dry difierential in thicknesses which - lLrasher estimated would give dry mills an ll/o advantage on log scale over the green mills.

However. it remained for Art Hood to point out that the most important person

to be considered is the retail lumber dealer and his customers. Whether the consumer, already somewhat incensed at the industry's want 2x4, would rebel against paying for 2" and receiving lr/"" lumber (proposed dry thickness) is a subject worthy of serious consideration.

Overall, it was a fine meeting and a credit to the Santa Clara club. Much credit should go to president John Enright and the panel for their time in organizing the debate, and in a sense, removing the cloak of mystery from the new Simplification proposal. It is hoped that other Hoo-Hoo clubs throughout the Country can hold similar meetings between now and May to familiarize their members with both sides of the issue.

Location is the Biltmore Hotel.

eonrad J. Campbell, program chairmano has asked wood scientists and market specialists to oogive the chemical industry enough facts to stimulate research by showing that the weatherability of wood is a problem which, if solved, could result in an increase in the size of this already attractive market for chemicals."

The Symposium will try to acquaint the chemical industry with the technical and economic problems and opportunities involved in the improvement of exterior wood treatments. The Symposium will be one of three given by the Division of Coatings and Plastics Chemistry as part of the National ACS Meeting.

Professor J. A. Zivnuska, of the University of California, will outline the

changing structure of the U.S. lumber industry and how it affects its attitudes toward research and development. Dr. Harold B.

Producl Quolity Emphosized in Olympic Sloin Merchandising Program

The most powerful merchandising program in Olympic Stain's history is being unleashed this season, according to John Anderson, general manager of Olympic Stained Products Co., Seattle.

The campaign highlights the triumph of ooQuality" over o'cheap stufi" and is calculated to produce a chuckle along with better-than-ever sales.

Anderson emphasizes the dealer in this year's campaign, designed to educate consumers and professionals alike on WHY Olympic Stain is worth more.

"With us. the dealer always has been top manr" says Anderson. "So, the 1963 campaign stresses a program of product quality with dealer support, impact advertising and strong merchandising all adding up to maximum dealer profit."

Eye-eatching point-of-sale materials that o'will turn shoppers into profit customers" are being shipped to dealers. Calculated to conserve valuable dealer time and spacc, they include can toppers, displays, mobiles and window banners, all stressing high quality and the wide range of Olympic's products.

"In the can, Olympic costs more than the cheap stains or paints," Anderson says. 'oBut on the finished iob it costs far less

because it lasts longer. Because of the quality we put into every can, Olympic stains last longer, look better and apply easier with less maintenance required. It's guaranteed never to crack, peel or blister-with lowest possible cost-per-year."

Olympic recently announced plans for a new ball mill to keep up with growing demand.

Friend & Terry Closes Doors

Friend & Terry Lumber Company, quite probably the oldest retail lumber yard in the W'est, has closed its doors after ll0 years of servicing builders and homeowners in the Sacramento Valley area. The firm was established in 1851, as a shipbuilding concern by Captain A. M. Simpson, and in 1853, it was separated from Simpson's shipping interests and established as a retail lumberyard. Over its Il0 year life span, Friend & Terry Lumber Company remained under the control of three generations of Simpsons, Mike Simp' son the current third generation in the management of the company.

Ironically, Friend & Terry Lumber sur' vived two major depressions, innumerable business crises, two disastrous fires, only to finally succumb to, of all things, a Freeway. A{ter several years of squabbling over one of the biggest bottlenecks in the State's freeway system, Sacramento has decided to build its {reeway right through the middle of the venerable yard.

They came-they saw-they were conquered

These enthusiastic comments by Seattle Fair visitors reflect the high public acceptance oJ plywood paneling as a modern decorative material.

Jim Burrell, editor of Plywood,Magazine, is a curious man. He got to wondering about the public reaC-tion to plywood in the "Home of Living Liqht" at the Seattle World's Fair. S5 he-sta-

tioned himself at the entrance to the dining room, above, which featured panel6d walls (of Weldwood Deluxe teak). And for nine hours one day last summer, he recorded what people said as they came in the door. The quotes above are a samplinq of what he heard. This is typicil oi the broad public acceptance of Weldwoodo paneling. Tak6 advantage of it to bujld busl-

ness for yourself. And remember that Weldwodd is the most widely and consistently advertised name in paneling. Weldwood paneling is tops in quality and beauty, provides the ideal background in any room-for any decorating itrrl". "fa. out" or traditibnal. Invit6 p,iople in to "see the difierence." And, as at the Fair, when they come, they'll see and be conquered.

Monthly lumber Focts

Weekly average production at Douglas fir sawmills in western Oregon and Washington through January was running at 142 million feet or 89.8% of average production for the last five years T958-62.

This lowered production, states G. C. Edgett, executive vice president of West Coast Lumbermen's Association, reflects the serious competition for business which Oregon and Washington mills face from Canadian mills in U. S. markets.

The weekly average of West Coast lumber production in January was 142,865,000 b.f. or 89.8% of the 1958-62 average. Orders averaged 146,833,000 b.f.; shipments 133,113,000 b.f.; weekly averages for December were production 138,315,000 b.f.; 86.9% of the 1958-62 average; orders I53,I3I,000 b.f.: shipments 138,411,000 b.f.

One month of the 1963 cumulative production 657.180,000 b.f.; one month of 1962,630,680,000 b.f.; one month of 1961, 6t?,946,000 b.I.

Orders for one month of 1963 break down as follows: Rail and truck 507,588,000 b.f.; domestic cargo 117, 93O000 b.f.; export 31,678,000 b.f.; local 18,237,000 b.f.

The industry's unfilled order file stood at 570,248,000 b.f, at the end of January, lumber inventory at 942,931,000 b.f.

PALCO Announces New By-Products Manager

Ray Klass has been appointed Manager of the By-Products Division of The Pacific Lumber Company, it has been announced by William

G.

Van Beckum, Vice President for Research and Development.

Klass has a background of 25 years' experience as a specialist in sales of PALCO's California redwood by-products. Having traveled extensively throughout the United States and Canada to develop by-product sales, he is widely known among lumber distributors, as well as in the industrial fields of refrigeration, insulation, and petroleum production.

He moves up from Assistant Manager of PALCO's By-Products Division, a position he has held since 1955. Prior to that, he was for l0 years Eastern Sales Manager for by-products, located in PALCO's Chicago Office. He succeeds Edric Brown, who retired December 31, 1962.

Klass was born in Oakland. California and lived in Scotia in the redwood region for 13 years while attending elementary and high school. He graduated from the University of California, where he studied Engineering and Business Administration.

PALCO's bark by-products include fibers and chemicals for uses ranging from home and industrial insulation to automotive filters and battery separators.

PRESSURE TREATEII TUIIIBER

Klass states that demand is increasing for a new bark product-a soft wooly material. named Miracle Redwood Bark, which is used as a protective cushion at playgrounds, or as a decorative ground cover in landscaping.

Palcotan, a chemical extractive from the redwood bark, is gaining increased use in the petroleum industry. It is used to control the viscous properties of the drilling fluid, and to serve as a bufier to the clays and shales encountered during oil well drilling.

Mqrsh Woll Producfs Opens West Coost Plont

Marsh Wall Products, Inc,, Dover, Ohio, has opened a nen'plant in Los Angeles to produce Marlite prefinished wall panels for the western state.s, according to an announcement by V. R. \'larsh, Executive Vice President and General Manager.

"To better service the large volume of business we have developed in our Western Division, we felt it necessarv to have a producing unit on the West Coast," Marsh stated.

The Los Angeles plant will not manufacture the full line of Marlite paneling and accessories, and there still will be a substantial movement of material from the main plant in Dover. Ohio, to West Coast accounts and warehouses.

Marsh Wall Products, the pioneer manufacturer o{ prefinished hardboard panel, already has branch offices and warehouses in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle. The new plant is located at 725I E. Condor St., formerly occupied by the Coralite Co.

The new plant augments a well established netu'ork o{ warehouses and offices in the eleven state area which makes up the Western Division. This enlarged manufacturing-distribution organization will provide the customer even better service than in the past, according to Marsh.

The Marlite paneling executive added, "The West is enjoying a tremendous increase in population, and this influx is adding substantially to the economic growth of the area, especially the building industry. We expect to become an even more prominent factor in this rapidly expanding West Coast building field now that our new plant is in operation."

TOPS FOR TOPS!

More than 85,000 cores for dinette table tops were shipped during a three-month period by the Duraflake Company. Albany, Oregon-enough to produce dinette tables for every family in Akron, Ohio !

The rapidly increasing popularity of Duraflake is due to the fact that leading manufacturers of dinette tables have found that it helps to accentuate and improve the quality of the design while cutting production time and costs. Most manufacturers overlay the Duraflake cores with high pressure plastic laminates, covering the edges with the same material or a decorative moulding of plastic or metal.

Duraflake's extremely smooth surface eliminates telegraphing for the life of the table. There are no coarse materials to cause "high spot wear" on the table surface. The core is {ormed by the air flotation principle o{ the unique Bison System which makes possible a board of engineered balanced construction. The largest

WCLIB Bqcks Progrom

The West Coast Lumber Inspection Bureau is backing the proposed use of the 1t/2-inch dry size for dimension lumber as the base in establishing equivalent shrinkage for unseasoned lumber.

To bring fresh evidence into the dry versus green lumber sizes controversy, WCLIB also is underwriting a large-scale measurement study of wood shrinkage by the Oregon Forest Research Laboratory at Corvallis.

The West Coast bureau's executive committee took this action January l7 by unanimous vote, reported Manager G. Cleveland Edgett. The Bureau's grading rules are used throughout the Douglas fir

region of western Oregon and Washington, and northwest California.

The lr/2-inch dry size for nominal twoinch dimension lumber is part of the grade simplification and standardization program being supported by the National Lumber Manufacturers Association.

The Oregon laboratory was instructed to submit its findings to the West Coast bureau by April 15. This would afiord time to incorporate a green sizes proposal in I(ICLIB's recommendations to the American Lumber Standards Committee. which has scheduled action at its May meeting.

The study involves the principal west coast species, of which large amounts are shipped green to California, Atlantic Coast

Uniform . Surface

.

and other markets. Its cost is estimated at $6,000 or more.

"Our entirely new study should provide a solid basis for relating gr,een sizes to dry when the ALS committee moves ahead on simplification and standardizationo" Edgett stated.

As part of its resolution the Bureau added that, if the federal housing administration approves ,6. 1t/r-inch size for dry dimension hefore the study is completed, the committee will meet immediately to consider adopting grading rules for the new sizes as optional items.

Olympic Stained Products lncreqses Production

Olympic Stained Products Company of Seattle has announced installation of a new ball mill, brought about by increased demand for stains.

The new installation will boost Olympic's stain production by some 800 gallons per duy.

The increased demand has come about because of Olympic Stain's 'ospecializing" in the stain field, rather than branching out into the many-sided paint field, according to John N. Anderson, president. He said that, by becoming specialists, Olympic "has become recognized as the leading authority on stains."

The current trend in stains, Anderson said, is toward semi-transparent finishes which allow the grain and texture of wood to remain clearly visible. "With so many artificial wood products on the market, it is important for the texture to show through, so that architects and others who specify wood can be certain the quality will be recognized," Anderson said.

In a ball mill, dry pigments are mixed with oils to produce wood stains of many colors. The new equipment gives the best available mix, Anderson said, which means the stain has long color durability.

Masonite Film Avoilable

Masonite Corporation's entertaining 14' min. movie, "The Incredible Shrinking House," is now available for public service broadcasting by television stations from New York to Los Angeles, according to James H. Hurley, director of advertising and sales promotion.

Uproariously funny at many points, the movie isa peppy parody on old-time oosilent" films. It tells the story of a young couple whose house seems to shrink as the family grows.

As family space "crises" arise, the man and his wife rush to their lumber dealer to get his advice. Through imaginative design and building materials, the family is saved the expense and inconvenience of moving to a new home.

Television stations may place orders for showings through the TV department of Sterling Movies, Inc., 43 W. 6lst St.' New York 23, N.Y.

Woodfiber Products Thqt Won't Burn?

Woodfiber products that won't burn ? This question was answered for the nation's home builders when new noncombustible acoustical, decorative and insulating board products made of woodfibers were introduced at the National Association of Home Builders convention which opened December L2 at Qhicago's McCormick Place.

Called Pyrotect, the new products, made entirely of inexpensive woodfiber, represent a long-awaited breakthrough in the field of Iow-cost fire safety for the entire lightconstruction industry.

The exclusive new process was developed after years of intensive research by Simpson Timber Company. Simpson scientists devised a method of impregnating every single woodfiber with a permanent fireproofing chemical, similar to that which the company uses to fight forest fires. This process gives thorough fire protection throughout the ceiling tile and iusulating board.

Extensive tests to measure the new product's flame spread efficiency have been conducted in leading federal and private laboratories, including IJnderwriter's Laboratories, Inc., Chicago. Pyrotect is rated "noncombustible" as defined by the National Fire Protection Association and leading building codes across the United States. It is the first 'woodfiber insulating board prodcut to meet Class 1 standards with its low flame-spread rating.

Because of their sound deadening properties and modern appearance, Simpson acoustical woodfiber ceiling tile products have become well known and widely used

throughout the world since being introduced to consumers seven years ago. Now, with the added feature of low-cost fire safety, they make possible great savings in the construction of retail stores, clinics, apartments, restaurants, home and related installations.

CAIIFORNIA IUIABER MERCHANI

Jack L. Wetherby, Jr., Simpson insulating board products official, stated "the use of Pyrotect will unquestionably become widespread as an increasingly fire-conscious public becomes aware that fire-safe products are now available in an affordable price rang'e . just slightly more than ordinary products without this protection."

Simpson Timber Company, one of the country's leading manufacturers of building products for 67 years, nationally markets products for residential, commercial and industrial construction including California redwood, construction and specialty plywoods, doors, Douglas fir and Hemloek lumber, acoustical and insulating board products as well as hardboard and roof deck.

Spring Promolions Give Soles lmpetus To Speciolty llems

Special spring promotions can pay ofi in increased sales of certain high-profit specialty items.

By promoting the installation of red cedar closet lining at a time when homeowners are concerned about the storage of valuable furs, woolens and other winter clothes, aggressive lumber dealers

can chalk up unusually high sales of this specialty material.

"It doesn't take a great deal of efiort to spark these sales." according to Lee Seabolt, public relations director of the Aromatic Red Cedar Closet Lining Manufacturers Association.

Eye-catching displays, prime position in newspaper ads direct mail pieces have been used successfully by dealers to crease sales of this specialty item, Seabolt says.

'oHomemakers are looking for moth-repellent storag€ areas at this time of year, and home handymen are attracted by a weekend project that can be completed for approximately $50. This is especially true because the improvement also will increase the appraisal value of the house."

Since aromatic red cedar closet lining comes in pre-packaged bundles, it is easy to build a simple display in the window or on the floor. Complete installation instructions in each bundle make the project an easy one for the do-it-yourselfer.

Standqrdized Plywood Unit Strapping, Color ldentity ond tobeling Exponded

Automatic plywood unit strapping, labeling, branding, and color identification have been adopted as standard practice for all Georgia-Pacific western softwood plywood mills in Oregon, Washington and California.

The expanded and standardized program involves the largest single block of frr plywood production in the industry. It follows extensive market and production testing by several G-P plants that helped pioneer the indugtry trendn according to Frank V. Langfitt Jr., the company's western plywood marketing manager.

Automatic strapping machinery now has been installed in all western plants, he said. The extensive program involves both sanded and sheathing, plus textured, oierlaid and other specialties.

Units with a standard number of panels, depending upon thickness, have 2x4 separators attached for lift truck handling and stacking, he said. Color-code edge sealing or color grade stripes conform to the standard red for exterior and green for interior' Each unit also is labeled for grade, number of pieces and thickness.

On units carrying colored grade striping, one stripe indicates AA, two AB, three AC or AD, four BC or BD and five CD. The CD sheathing with an exterior glueline carries a red center stripe with four green stripes.

OBIT.UARIES

' Louis E. Navelleir, general manager of Hill Lumber & Hardware Co', AlbanY, i Calif., died suddenly on January 16' Known as Mi. "El Cerrito" by a good part of the town's population, Mr' Navellier joined the Hill organization 44 yearc ago as a yard man. The popular El Cerritan died unexpectedlY on JanuarY 16.

Born of French immigrant parents across the street from his home at 1337 Navellier Street, Mr, Navellier could well be known as "Mr. Lumber" too. He met his wife, Gladys, at Ilill Lumber & Hardware, and his son, Louis R. Navellier, is employed there today. Another son, Ernest, is in the masonry business in El Cerrito.

In 1934, Navellier was elected to the El Cerrito City Council in a landslide. After serving four years he was ofrered the judgeship, although he had no legal training. "It was in the good old days when you just used common sense," he used to chuckle when queried by friends.

From 1938 to 1944 he held that Post, finally giving it up when the mushrooming ' population forced court sessions at almost every hour of the day. Another "sideline" to which the busy lumber executive devoted much of his personal time was the El Cerrito City Club. Mr. Navellier was the founder and first president of the club, and !.i served as manager until 1951, when a heart ' attack advised him to start cruising instead of rushing, through life. Since then' Mr. Navellier contented himself with the man-sized job of managing one of the largest retail lumber operations in the East Bay area.

Bessie Bendorf, ?4, retired Executive Secretary and Office Manager for The Pacific Lumber Company, died on January SOth at her home in San Francisco.

She joined The Pacific Lumber Company in 1911 and retired in 1954, after 44 years with the company in the headquarters office at San Francisco.

She was one of a familY of four who have all been active for many years with The Pacific Lumber Company. She is survived by a brother, Harold Bendorf, who is Assistant General Sales Manager for the firm, and has been with Pacific for 38 years. Two other brothers, now deceased, were Fulton-who was with the company for 26 years, and Derby-with the company 44 years.

Prior to serving as Ofdce Manager, she had worked many years in the Sales Department, and later was assistant to the General Sales Manager.

Born in Oshkosh. Wisconsin. she entered the lumber business as a young girl, when she worked in the office of the Hall & Munson Lumber Company in Michigan. While there, she worked for James M. Leaver, who later became assistant to the President of The Pacific Lumber Company.

Since her retirement. she had been active in Episcopal Church affairs and in political activities.

Merrill C. Morgan, pioneer San Diego lumberman died last month at the age of 69. He was buried in Mount Hope Cemetery.

Mr. Morgan had been employed by Sullivan Hardwood Lumber Company in San Diego for many years as a lumber salesman. He was a longtime member of HooHoo.

Surviving are his widow, Arvada; four daughters, including Mrs, Yvonne Thomas of Chula Vista and Mrs. Mae Peters of San Diego; a son; two brothers, including Hov' ard of National City; two sisters, including Mrs. Helen O'Halloran of San Diego; his father, 12 grandchildren and five great grandchildren.

Cyrus B. Sweet, 62, who served as president of the NRLDA in 1949 and 1950, died of a coronary occulsion on January 4 in Arlington, Virginia.

For 30 years Mr. Sweet waS associated with the Long-Bell Lumber Company in Longview, Washington, and became its western division manager in 1940. In 1954 he joined the stafr of FHA, when he was appointed director of its home modernization and repair program. He became Assistant Commissioner of Operations, supervising the activites of the 136 field offices in 1956. The following year he was appointed Deputy Commissioner, the post he held until his resignation in 1960.

After leaving government service, he became the founder and president of the American Association of Consultants, an organization for the development of housing units for the elderly.

Mr. Sweet's service as President of NRLDA and the Western Retail Lumbermen's Association, plus his Iong service to the housing industry in the Federal government. made him known and respected by a host of retail lumber dealers in the United States.

Mr, Sweet is survived by his wife, Margaret Stubbs Sweet, Chevy Chase, Maryland, and a son, Cyrus B. Sweet III, a major in the Air Force.

Your Spore Tire

Much of the expense from lost time and trouble from flat tires can be eliminated with a new product sold by Nadisco Incorporated, 1246 Folsom St., San Francisco 3, Calif.

Appropriately called Spare Tire, it is an aerosol container filled with compressed air and latex rubber. Spare tire instantly inflates the flat tire and seals the puncture in just 60 seconds, and cuts out flat tire changing of both tube and tubeless tires, the need for an extra wheel and tire, jack and other tools, loss of time and dirty hands and smudged clothing.

(Spare Tire) so that at the end of a ride on the repaired tire of over 43 kilometers (or about 27 miles) even with four persons in the car . there was no loss of air pressure in the tire.t' t'Noticeable also was the easy, simple handling of the product which makes tools, jacks and the mounting and dismounting of the wheels unnecessary and obsolete."

Spare Tire has been bought for sale or use by the following organizations; B'F. Goodrich, Firestone (Italy), Army-Navy PXs, State of California, San Francisco Police Department and other police departments. Spare Tire is standard equipment on all Honda motorcycles.

Lotesl Techniques in Drying

The latest techniques for drying wood faster and better will be emphasized at the 87th Kiln Drying Demonstration at the U. S. Forest Products Laboratory, Madison, \flisconsin, March 25 to April 5, 1963.

"Today the man who dries lumber is a key production figure," points out Dr. Edward G. Irccke, director of the Forest Products Laboratory.

"We are moving toward ever more highly refined products," he explains. 'oSeasoning thus becomes more and more critically important in high-speed productiono not only to shorten production time but to facilitate other vital processing steps, such as surfacing gluing, joining, and finishing.

"At the Forest Products Laboratory we have long recognized this by pioneering special training demonstrations in the kiln drying of lumber."

During the 2-week training session, the participants will receive instruction in the

use and care of moisture meters, balances, drying ovens, recording-controlling instruments, and other dry kiln eguipment.

The laboratory's stafi of seasoning specialists will present the information in simple, easy-to-use form. Men with individual seasoning problems will be able to discuss them with any of the FPL specialists.

A recent Laboratory publication, the Dry Kiln Operator's Manual, will be used as a handbook for the session. The manual was written by E. F. Rasmussen, FPL seasoning specialist who is directing the demonstration. It includes such information as basic principles of kiln drying oI wood, types of dry kilns, kiln equipmen! operation and tuneup of kilns, drying schedules. and moisture control of lumber and products during storage and production.

Since March 1919" when nine furniture manufacturers attended the first kiln drying demonstration, participants have included plant managers, engineers, super-

visory personnel, lumber dealers, architects, and woodworking specialists, in addition to kiln operators, Many have come from foreign countries.

"Wood products of all kinds must be continually improved to hold existing markets and expand into new ones," comments Dr. Locke. o'Moisture content control in wood processing is critical in this quest for quality."

Cooperative fee for the 2-week demonstration is $275 per man to cover Laboratory expenses, and includes materials and publications. It does not include travel or living expenses. Each firm may enroll as many representatives as it wishes.

If you have south or west exposed rooms which pick up a lot of summer heat, try building a simple solid frame of 2x4 Douglas fir set on 4x4 posts with simple lx4 louvers spaced a foot apart. This gives an eye shade efiect, will cool ofi the windows and provide filtered shade.

A Second Look ot the Soqring Sixties

A highlight of the recent llth Annual Convention o{ the National Building Material Distributors Association was a panel discussion which provided o'A Second Look At The Soaring Sixties."

The boom that failed to snap. crackle and pop was examined and discussed by a building material manufacturer, Marland Wolf, vice president, Wood Conversion Co., St. Paul, Minn.; an economist, F. R. Widmer, commercial research division, Republic Steel Corp.. Cleveland, Ohio; and a retail building material dealer authority, T. T. Sneddon, NLBMDA (formerly NRLDA), Wash' ington, D. C.

The following predictions were made:

Innovations in housing design will create new produucts and new markets.

By 1965 a spurt in new families will stimulate residential hous' ing starts.

Re-evaluation of business objectives and goals realistically according to current trends will strengthen sales and profits.

The second look at the soaring sixties proved somewhat difierent than the rosey forecast of several years ago. With a realistic approach, the panel concluded that before the count-down can begin, there will have to be a few internal adjustments.
